Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

Hi y’all! Sorry for a week with no posts. I was busy down South soaking up the rays of the sunshine and now I’m covered in freckles and my skin is peeling like a snake shedding its skin. Redheads (or auburn in my case) can’t catch a break when it comes to the sun! And […]

Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Banana Nut Bread is one of those foods that was quite often found in my home, but I always hated the stuff. I don’t even really remember why. I remember it being dry, overwhelmingly banana flavored, and just in general not very good. Now this comment is not meant to offend my mom, because she […]

Bacon & Onion Finger Sandwiches

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

Here in the deep South, it’s very rare that you attend a gathering where there isn’t some sort of finger sandwich tray. We love our sandwiches down here, but what we love even more is tiny sandwiches that are filled with yummy things like bacon and cheese. What’s not to love? Every good Southern cook […]

Easy Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

About a month ago on another blog, I saw a recipe for Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread and it just sounded so absolutely delicious to me! I have no concerns about working with yeast, but was in such a hurry to make this and since I didn’t have some of the ingredients on hand (based off […]

Cinnamon Sugar “Danish”

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

Variations of this recipe are all over the place, mostly in old cookbooks that I got from my grandmother when she moved. I went to visit her one day and she had a box full of cookbooks sitting in her garage and said she was fixing to take them to give away. My goodness, my […]

Bread Pudding with Hard Sauce

Friday, November 19th, 2010

Oh my gaaaahhh! Every single time that I make this dessert (which is usually only at Thanksgiving and Christmas) I am reminded of how absolutely wonderful it is. Words truly can’t describe it…one must just try this to believe me! My dad is probably the biggest bread pudding fan I’ve ever met before, and I’ve made […]

Homemade Cornbread Dressing

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

A few days ago I posted on my Facebook asking which recipes my friends would most like to see recipes for with the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. The most asked for item was homemade dressing/stuffing. Well, I don’t have a stuffing recipe because that’s just something we’ve never made in my family to date. At least […]

Mae Mae’s Homemade Cornbread

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

I know, I know…you’ve probably heard Mae Mae’s name mentioned at least once in every single post I’ve written. But truth is, almost everything I know about cooking I learned from her. She was the QUEEN of cornbread. I remember helping her in her day care and every single day there was a pan of […]

Pumpkin Bread

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

In honor of my sweet Momma who had surgery today, I’m posting one of her all time BEST recipes, at least in my opinion. This bread is absolutely delicious and the recipe originally came from my great great Aunt JuJu, so no telling how old it is. This bread always reminds me that the holidays […]

Southwestern Chicken Appetizers

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

This appetizer is one of my ALL-TIME favorite foods on this earth. I first tasted this recipe at a Pampered Chef party. My cousin, who is a rep for them, was doing a party here at my house and wanted to know what type of food I wanted to make. I told her that I’d […]
